Compatability Quiz Time

Remember those quizzes in YM or Seventeen- the answers were so obvious as to which was the best, or "you're doing okay", or "um, you really need some help". I love more adult versions of those quizzes though, like Myers Briggs (I'm an ENFP, what about you?).

10. Favorite:

•Food - I could never choose between my favorites: eastern NC bbq and collards; pasta; chips/salsa/guac.

•Book - There's no way I could ever pick one, but I do reread Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer every year, which says a lot.

•Season - Fall

•Top Five Albums if you are stranded on a desert island (no best-of compilations please).

Ack. Imposible, amiga! Maybe I'd choose albums that would take me back to a particular time and place (all the more memories to relive until getting off that island).

- The Queen is Dead, The Smiths. The soundtrack to disaffected suburban youth.- August & Everything After, Counting Crows. The soundtrack to college all-nighters. - Oh, Inverted World, The Shins. The soundtrack to stoning out in graduate school.- Alligator, The National. The soundtrack to falling in love with Trevor.- Moondance, Van Morrison. The one album that I can say with certainly I listened to during each of those times in my life.

Samma, you'll be delighted to know that on my long drive to NC yesterday, I couldn't decide what music to play, and then thought 'Wait! I'll play my five deserted island albums from Samma's blog!' Then I made the executive decision to replace The Shins' Oh, Inverted World with their album Chutes Too Narrow for my island choice... hope it's okay to switch on you ;-)
